NEVER AGAIN, UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN

By NILES LATHEM and ANDY SOLTISMay 20, 2006 -- Concerned U.S. officials and Jewish groups yesterday demanded answers from Iran after a shocking report that Tehran's radical leaders passed a Nazi-style law requiring Jews and Christians to wear identifying badges.Jews would be forced to wear yellow cloth strips - like the Star of David that Jews were made to wear in Nazi Germany - while Christians would have to wear red strips.

FROM LEAV! GEE, WHO SAW THIS COMING?

UPDATE: Amir Taheri elaborates on this story. (Hat tip to POWER LINE) Mr. Hinderaker wraps it up: "Given Mr. Taheri's past reliability on matters relating to Iran, I think this can stand as the best information we have, pending future developments." Read those for a more sober analysis.

Now, on to the LEAVRANT portion of this post:The only way to free the people of Iran, No. Korea, and other oppressive rgimes is through violent force of arms, to a greater or lesser degree. These societies already live under the gun, so to speak. Iraq was the first exercise of our ability to grasp the concept of this global war. Iraq is not Vietnam, or Korea, where a stand-off was acceptable. Russia and China will protect Iran and Syria, and others like Sudan, in the U.N. They're playing the same old game on us, substituting the Arab and Muslim countries for their previous "third world" surrogates. Somehow, WE'RE THE IMPERIALISTS!It is up to the free people of the world to stop the oppression against their brothers and sisters around the world. America is doing the right thing, especially the Iraq invasion. God (or the UN) forbid that we should invade the Sudan unilaterally, of course. We might be worse war-mongers, then.NEVER AGAIN. WE CAN'T DO IT ALONE.
